Talk:Parental Advisory

We should make a list of every CD that has a Parental Advisory sticker.

Label's first use

The label was introduced in 1985 after pressure from the Parents Music Resource Center.

Actually, I seem to remember—seeing footage in some documentary or something—of Tipper and/or whomever at a press conference unveiling the "logo"—the distinctive black and white format of the label we know and love today. Previous to that, though, there was no real standard for parental advisories, and the text was usually much less conspicuous—see, for example, the warnings on the covers of "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" and "Nasty as They Wanna Be." Does anybody know any more details of when the current-style "explicit lyrics" label came out, or what record it was first used on? —Wiki Wikardo 07:12, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, hey, also

Does anybody know when they changed over from "explicit lyrics" to "explicit content?"

Age Level

What's the age level for albums being labeled for explicit lyrics? --PJ Pete

It depends on the state. I think the age level to buy certain albums with labels is 18- but that depends on the state.

Some retailers won't sell offensive material to anyone under 18.

Personally, I think Tipper Gore should have kept quiet. Warning labels don't mean a thing to me. I think these parental advisory labels should be dropped.
